The funny thing about Goodkind Wibble Send a noteboard - 02/08/2011 07:05:06 PM
Is that he so polarises people, and is the perfect author to ask the question: What defines success and/or a good author/book/series.

He's sold well over 25million books, quite literally has publishers eating out his hands wantign novels, he recently signed a new 3 book deal with TOR. Has a rabid fanbase...

...is this not what every author wants? Does this not define success?

And yet. His writing is SHIT, and i've yet to actually meet anyone in person who likes him. I gave up halfway through the 1st book. Total mindfuck how he is a success.

book 6? Was that the second or third time Ricky got kidnapped/changed his captors way of thinking? - 02/08/2011 07:08:45 AM 1233 Views
But then you have to retract the rip-off assertion - 02/08/2011 01:58:28 PM 1176 Views
Er. You didn't answer her question: Why was Book 6 so groundbreaking? - 02/08/2011 02:07:18 PM 1164 Views
That was just a joke about her giving up the series. I didn't even recall which one was book 6 - 02/08/2011 02:28:06 PM 1210 Views
Derp. Sorry, it was too early in the morning for subtle humor. - 02/08/2011 07:17:23 PM 1142 Views
It's funny, though, because you hit the nail on the head with your random choice of number. - 02/08/2011 08:11:58 PM 1219 Views
I agree with all that - 03/08/2011 12:15:15 AM 1192 Views
Isn't that the one where Richard carves a statue that is so rad it inspires a rebellion? - 03/08/2011 12:02:10 PM 1200 Views
well to be fair, it's more complicated than that - 03/08/2011 05:27:59 PM 1086 Views

That's the one. - 03/08/2011 06:10:57 PM 1217 Views
As well as being the most overtly anti-communist & anti-religious of the series. - 06/08/2011 02:52:52 AM 1232 Views

No, definitely not. - 02/08/2011 07:19:25 PM 1126 Views
I read all the way through the end, and I thought the last couple books redeemed it in my eyes - 03/08/2011 12:11:56 AM 1078 Views
